Sorry, I wasn't very clear about what I meant. To quote the Help and Support Center[/color:70555fdf21]: [b:70555fdf21]To protect your files by using a screen saver password[/b:70555fdf21] 1. Open Display[/color:70555fdf21] in Control Panel. 2. On the Screen Saver[/color:70555fdf21] tab under Screen saver, click a screen saver. 3. Select the [b:70555fdf21]On resume, password protect[/b:70555fdf21] check box. If [b:70555fdf21]Fast User Switching[/b:70555fdf21] is turned on, select the [b:70555fdf21]On resume, display Welcome screen[/b:70555fdf21] check box. Okay, so I open the Display control panel and click on the Screen Saver tab. I have Fast User Switching on, so the [b:70555fdf21]On Resume, display Welcome screen[/b:70555fdf21] option should be available, but I only see the [b:70555fdf21]On Resume, password protect[/b:70555fdf21] option! This is the only option that appears here whether or not Fast User Switching is activated. [b:70555fdf21]Here's the scenario I want:[/b:70555fdf21] I leave my computer for a while. When I come back the screen saver is running. I move the mouse and the screen saver stops and the Welcome screen pops up allowing me enter my password and resume working [b:70555fdf21]OR[/b:70555fdf21] [i:70555fdf21]allowing anyone else with an account on my computer to log on to their account.[/i:70555fdf21] My problem is that I don't get the Welcome screen when the screen saver stops running. Instead, the login screen pops up asking for my password -- meaning that I [i:70555fdf21]and only I[/i:70555fdf21] can continue using the computer. No one else can log on to their account if I'm not around. In short, why can't I get the [b:70555fdf21]On Resume, display Welcome screen[/b:70555fdf21] option in the Display control panel? This is what I really want. Is there a registry key for this? I hope this additional information clears things up. Thanks!
